Description: Strengthen figurative language, nonliteral language, and conversation skills with this resource! This activity teaches students to interpret atypical figurative expressions that are created naturally during conversation rather than common similes, metaphors, idioms, or proverbs. Students learn to recognize a speaker's intended meaning by comparing literal vs. nonliteral language, reducing misunderstandings and improving social communication, inferencing, verbal reasoning, and language comprehension. These real-world language activities help students think beyond the literal meaning to accurately interpret conversational language and social narratives. Ideal for students with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), autism, language disorders, learning disabilities, and English language learners, this resource builds higher-level language and pragmatic communication skills. What's Included 52 Interactive Cards (30 multiple-choice activities, 30+ open-ended prompts that encourage students to explain the speaker's intended meaning) 6-page printable worksheet packet for homework, independent practice, literacy centers, progress monitoring, or carryover activities Perfect for speech-language pathologists (SLPs), special education teachers, social skills groups, ELA teachers, ESL teachers, RTI, intervention, and middle school language lessons.
